We know a lot about dinosaurs but there’s one question that has plagued paleontologists for decades– what color were they? Learn from the latest Eons about how we’ve started answering that question.
Though it’s considered a breach any time the whale’s body is at least 40% above sea level, it’s quite rare to see their entire body fly out of the water. This makes Capeheart’s close-up video a unique gem. “It seems that never before has a recording been made of an adult humpback whale leaping entirely out of the water! A very rare event, indeed,” Capeheart writes. “Dolphins and even Great White Sharks have been seen flying out of the water, but this is a first for an adult humpback whale!”
she has albinsim (no pigment in her eyes). this makes her eyes look rather transparent, with the blood vessels visible – though bc of structural colouration, light shining through at the right angle can make them seem blue!
one of my favorite corgi facts – besides how they’re the breed where the term ‘sploot’ comes from bc of how they lay down – is that they’re one of the ONLY small dog breeds that are perfect for herding cattle bc they’re so fucking short that cattle hooves cant kick them while the corgis nip their heels to get them moving
like thats the reason why they’re good at herding cattle. bc they’re little sasuages that can evade hooves and go back to charging and leading the cows. they’re amazing look at them go
while this is one of my fave corgi facts, lets also appreciate some other corgi facts that i enjoy:
they’re only 1 foot tall and are the smallest dog in the herding group
they’re in the spitz family which means that one of the corgis closest relatives is the siberian husky. like. huskies and corgis are cousins as far as dog breeds go. let that sink in. a sled dog is the taller cousin of this 1 foot tall cow herder
its a common belief that vikings had corgis and traveled w/ them. like. actual vikings had these tiny, little sausages aboard their ships just bc they liked them so much, and if that isnt the cutest thing
it was a law in ancient wales that u couldnt steal someones corgi and if u did u’d get fined
welsh legends say that corgis were used 2 pull fairy carts and were like, service dogs for fairies and if that isnt the mOST AMAZING ThINg
MOST corgis are born w/ out tails bc after years and years of tail docking, they’ve evolved to become tailless, BUT
here is a corgi as we know them, without a tail:
aaand heres a corgi w/ its tail:
The last image is filled with unimaginable power. It must be guarded at all costs, lest it fall into the wrong hands…
OH NO A CORGI WITH A TAIL I CAN’T HANDLE THIS I AM TOO FRAGILE
There’s also the similar Vallhund, sometimes known as “Viking Dog”.
Vallhund vs. Corgi 🐶
that cool and all, but

EVOLUTION DOESN’T WORK THAT WAY!
People bred them for tailessness. Just like breeding for any other trait. It just so happened that people also cut off the tails of ones that were born with tails. But once tailless mutants were found and bred, it would have had the same result regardless of cutting off the tails. And, if they hadn’t been bred for that trait, no amount of chopping off tails would have changed it.
Here’s everything you need to know about my situation and why I need your help:
1. I have survived an entire childhood of abuse. I’ve finally decided to go No Contact with my mother and I’m free from her. I’m gonna be doing the same thing with this man.
2. My partner and I met in 2011 and he was abusive even then. I had only moved in with him to escape my abusive mother.
3. We had a baby and he was nice to me while I was expecting, so I thought he was a good man who just got angry at times. But he was emotionally abusive in ways that I didn’t yet recognize.
4. I began to realize that I absolutely could not deal with this forever when I saw how uninvolved he was with his own beautiful and perfect baby. I took it as ignorance and figured he’d grow into his role of fatherhood. He didn’t.
5. He yells at the baby all the time, scaring him. When the baby reacts, he tells him to “Stop fake crying.” This is very similar to how he reacts to any thoughts or feelings that I express in the relationship. He invalidates our feelings so that he doesn’t have to take responsibility for them. He must always appear to be “the good guy” and he must control every situation and conversation. So now I just don’t talk.
6. I called the police on him both times that he was physically abusive so he knows better than to do that anymore. I’m not just “letting it happen”. He just slams things now to terrify us whenever we are here. And no, he doesn’t care that he scares the baby.
7. He gaslights, lies to everyone and has a split personality so I can’t stay and argue. He invalidates every single thing that I say when I open my mouth. Even things I’m obviously right about that are just random topics. He has no respect for me and tries to make me doubt myself. He literally laughs at me when I cry or show any emotion at all. I caught on and stopped showing them. Now he’s even worse and that’s why I ended things for the second and LAST time.
8. It used to work when I still loved him, but I don’t anymore. Without the love goggles, I see myself and him more clearly. That’s why I decided to end the relationship.
9. Now I need to move out. However, I don’t have childcare for my baby, don’t have a place to stay and need money for travel. I don’t have the time or safety to just stay here and save up either. My baby is stressed out because now that I’ve ended things (I HAD to in order for him to realize I’m not going to have sex with him), he’s in a horrible mood and tries to intimidate us both. It’s very hard to downplay your reaction to someone who is scaring your baby. Due to alienation I don’t have reliable friends here and my mom obviously doesn’t care. I have called every shelter, the abuse foundations – there aren’t funds or housing for mothers in my state at this time. The shelter in the state that I am going only accepts mothers who’s abuser lives in the same state. (It’s like…. do they wanna help victims or not)
10. My close friends mother has a daycare in her home and would be able to watch my son while I work. My friend also can get me a job in her company, because I have the credentials. The rent is much cheaper where she lives. So there is hope here. I can survive this, I just have to get there.
11. I will need to fly there, get a studio apartment and work hard to save up. I’ll need to buy a used car for the commute to and from work. That’s what the GoFundMe campaign is for.
12. I made an Instagram @wingsofsurvival for the campaign, but I am going to keep it for victims suffering through what I’m dealing with now. I will continue to come up with new ideas and ways to support people who have dealt with these things.
13. I am not ashamed of the things that other people have done to me. You do not need to feel shame for their actions. I want to be an example to anyone suffering right now that you can get out.
I understand that not everyone has money to donate and that’s okay. Sharing it is free! The more people know, the more awareness we raise for my campaign and other victims, the smaller the donations can be for everyone, the quicker me and my baby can get out of here. It’s always easier when we work together.
I want every woman to find their wings of survival.

This is the English word I want to get tattooed on my wrist. It means “to keep breathing even though the water rises all around you.” English is such a mystical exotic language. They can fit so much meaning into so small a word.
Well he’s not wrong
It has returned to my dash. Constant messages telling me what scuba meant for a year. I had to change my blog description to tell people I knew what it meant. This post is my atom bomb, the thing I never should have brought into this world.
I have no idea who this artist might be related to or friends with, but all the local parks seem to have these unfortunate log dildos. Usually of more abstract design and in groups, so maybe poor Harold here is just very lonely.
Kind of hoping they’re all from the same artist, tbh. I had somehow missed this one before, but it is at least useful as a gym.
